‘Sends The Chill Up Your Spine’: Haley Rips Tim Walz Comments

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley slammed Minnesota Governor Tim Walz this week over his performance during the vice presidential debate against Sen. JD Vance (R-OH).

Haley made the remarks on her SiriusXM show “Nikki Haley Live” while analyzing Tuesday night’s debate on CBS News.

“Under Walz, Minnesota has been one of the few states to raise taxes, even having an $18 billion budget surplus. $18 billion budget surplus, and he raised taxes anyway,” Haley said. “Minnesota has the fifth highest top income tax rate in the country — 9.85%. Imagine paying 10% on your income. As a member of Congress, he voted against the 2017 tax cuts. Remember we talked that if those tax cuts expire, 62% of Americans are going to see their taxes go up.”

“On illegal immigration, not only has he allowed illegal immigrants to come into his state, he has allowed them to have driver’s licenses,” she continued. “He’s allowed them to have health insurance. He’s allowed them to get free college, all on the taxpayer’s dime.”

“He’s subsidized electric vehicles,” she added. “He has no statutory limits on abortion at any stage of pregnancy. We know regardless of what side of that debate you’re on, abortion up until the time of birth is something that most Americans can’t stomach. He passed a law that gets in the middle of family decisions when it comes to kids and transgender issues. That’s interesting for a guy that says, ‘Mind your own damn business.'”

She said the thing that freaked her out the most about Walz was when he said: “One person’s socialism is another person’s neighborliness.”

“That is the one that sends the chill up your spine,” Haley said. “Minnesota’s losing residents at a record pace, ranked sixth highest in America for a families moving out. You look at the George Floyd riots; we all saw the buildings burning. What is interesting is the mayor of Minneapolis called Walz and Walz declined his request to call in the National Guard.”

She later added that Vice President Kamala Harris’ decision to pick Walz was a damning indictment of her.

“We are seeing a Kamala Harris that is basically saying, ‘Fake it until you make it,'” she said. “And so she’s faking all her stances and doing 180s on all of them until the election. But the one decision she made was Tim Walz.”
